Study the circuit shown in which two resistors X and Y of resistances 3 Ω and 6 Ω
respectively are joined in series with a battery of 2V.
Draw a circuit diagram showing the above two resistors X and Y joined in parallel with same battery and same ammeter and voltmeter.
Study the circuit shown in which two resistors X and Y of resistances 3 Ω and 6 Ω
respectively are joined in series with a battery of 2V.
Draw a circuit diagram showing the above two resistors X and Y joined in parallel with same battery and same ammeter and voltmeter.
Show Hint
In a series circuit, the current remains the same throughout, but in a parallel circuit, the potential difference across each component is identical.
Solution and Explanation
For this scenario, the resistors would be reconfigured in a parallel arrangement, maintaining the same battery connection, along with the ammeter and voltmeter. The corresponding circuit diagram is presented below:
Top Questions on Electric Circuit
Assertion (A): In the common domestic circuit, the earth wire is connected to a metallic plate buried deep inside the earth.
Reason (R): Earth wire ensures that any leakage of current to the metallic body of the appliance keeps its potential to that of the earth, so the user may not get a severe electric shock.- CBSE Class X - 2025
